Re: at or to?

I wore this when I went to work.

That one is fairly straightforward. In general, however, there is little point in asking why we use certain prepositions in certain phrases. Prepositions are a law unto themselves - in most languages that have them. We watch things on television, the French watch things at the television, and Germans watch things in the television. That's just the way it is.
